An actor on a popular local soapie, a top boxing commentator and a journalist are among a list of 17 nominees put forward by political parties to be part of the interim SABC board.

  • Former ambassador Febe Potgieter-Nqubule
  • Actress and businesswoman, Sulungeka Dazana
  • Businesswoman, Khanyisile Kweyama

Names put forward by the DA include:

  • Journalist, John Mattison,
  • Academic, Tanja Bosch,
  • Journalist Mpumelelo Mkhabela,
  • Isidingo actor, Jack Devnarain
  • Media consultant, Michael Markovitz

Cope, UDM, IFP and a number of smaller parties suggested the following:

  • Former SABC exec, Pearl Luthuli

The interim board will serve for a maximum period of six months before a permanent board is appointed.

MPs are mooted to decide on the five interim members in the next week or so.
